Kucinich Doesn't Get His Way...Awwwwww

A lower court order that Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich be included in a MSNBC candidate debate Tuesday was tossed out a few hours before the debate by the Nevada Supreme Court.

Lawyers for NBC Universal Inc. had asked the high court to overturn the lower court order that the cable TV news network include the Ohio congressman or pull the plug on broadcasting the debate Tuesday night with Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous order said that blocking the debate unless Kucinich got to participate would be “an unconstitutional prior restraint” on the news network’s First Amendment rights.

[...]

Donald Campbell, a Las Vegas lawyer representing NBC Universal, accused Kucinich of trying to make a jurisdictional “end run” around the FCC and federal courts by suing in Nevada state court to be added to the debate.

FCC broadcast rules do not apply to cable TV networks, Campbell said, adding that forcing MSNBC to add Kucinich or not broadcast the debate amounted to prior restraint and would be a “clear and unequivocal” violation in First Amendment press freedom.

You Lefties remember First Amendment rights, don't you? Do you think they exist only to apply to, and be used, by you? Well...think again, LiberTards, think again.

The Kook appeals to the far left fringe haters. I can't make heads nor tails of it. Actually, I take that back. Both The Kook and his supporters are so full of hatred and vile, so consumed as being Blame America Firsters, I am not surprised.

Thankfully, The Kook has no chance in ever getting elected to the White House, ever.
